Answer keys

1. 第一段“Now a study suggests that a popular secondary security measure provides little additional protection.”似与问题文字很接近，但是原文中a popular secondary security measure是指特定的一个措施，而非泛指所有secondary security measure.原文没有其它secondary security measure安全有效性的内容。故应选择NG.

2. 见第4、5段内容。第四段 “But the researchers had secretly withdrawn² the images.”即研究人员撤下了图形，第五段“Only two chose not to log on, citing security concerns.”，有两个人因为安全考虑未进入。

3. T 见第6段。

4. F 见第11、14段。

5. F 见第11段“Bank of America was among the first to adopt it”，可见首批采用图形识别软件的银行并非Bank of America一家。

6. A financial institution 见第二段。

7. （their） passwords 见第三段。

8. less convenience 见第十段。

9. identity 见第八、十段。

10. Silicon³ Valley 见第十一段。
